It's on YouTube, https://youtu.be/O_B0TNYWuLQ?
Just a tip: always strip the
si=...parameter from URLs. Thesiparameter is a form of tracking from platforms (particularly Youtube and Soundcloud, although other platforms use it as well), so the platforms can know who shared things and who opened the things that the former shared. When you send a clean link, without thesiparameter, it's more difficult (if not impossible) for platforms to determine who shared the link being opened/downloaded.Sweet, TY. Editing my comment.
Do my VPN and browser extensions help at all in obfuscating these data from the platform when I share a link?
If you use the adblocker uBlock Origin, enable these filter lists which strips URL tracking parameters.
Instructions:
⭐ Enable AdGuard URL Tracking Protection
⭐ Import Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool
- Check Import under Filter Lists > Custom
- Paste in this URL -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt
- Click Apply Changes
I can’t use uBlock, but I have an extension that should accept these filters.
What extensions do you use? What browser do you use? The only thing a VPN helps with is hiding your IP. If you dont use a good privacy browser like Mullvad/Librewolf or Cromite, you are still easily trackable regardless of VPN.
The only extension I recommend for privacy and security is uBlock Origin. There are some other good extensions but none that are as significant. More extensions can actually increase your trackability, aka browser fingerprinting.
You are the hero we deserve. How can I determine the audio quality of this?
Look under the "stats for nerds" for the YouTube video, note the codec used, and websearch from there what quality of audio that codec results in.
Hoping someone else has more than that; my audio interests do not carry me down the particular rabbit hole of defining quality levels. If it sounds good to me, it's good.
